Default Clutch recommendations pls up to 500hp

I want a reasonable clutch to cope with up to 500/450 for my six speed that is as OE in pedal pressure as possible but relatively cheap and longish lasting (the holy grail i know!)

suggestions please

thanks steve for your suggestion.

due to the high number of replies to my post i contacted RCM who suggested an AP one so this seems and easier option!

I went with the HKS GD Max twin plate.
I know they're slowly being fazed out to make way for the HKS LA clutches which are almost the same, only lighter on the foot.
Not exactly cheap but worth every penny IMHO

Bit strange, been advised to fit an AP organic as part of my build ( forged 2.5 ) which will be running 450 +.
